HEATER, AIR CONDITIONER, 120V GENERATOR
HEATER
RigMaster’s heating system is fully automatic. A constant comfort zone is maintained with the
temperature selector (see Climate Control Operation - Page 10). The bunk heating system has a
capacity of 13,500 BTU's. This is a complete stand alone system that is not integrated into the
vehicle's cooling system. When heat is selected, and the RigMaster® Power APU is in operation,
the hot coolant flows through the heater core (installed under the bunk see Figure 1).
The heater/air conditioner blower motor (fan) circulates the cab air through the heater core pushing
warm air into the bunk area. The coolant is then re-circulated back to the RigMaster’s main unit.
NOTE: PLUGGING IN THE BLOCK HEATER PLACES A LOAD OF APPROXIMATELY 1,500

WATTS ON THE ENGINE, THIS LOAD ENABLES THE ENGINE TO HEAT THE COOLANT.
This system is designed to maximize the bunk heating efficiency.

AIR CONDITIONER
The RigMaster air conditioner is fully automatic. A constant comfort zone is maintained with the
temperature selector setting (see Climate Control Operation - Page 9). The RigMaster air
conditioner is a R134A system that is not integrated into the vehicle's existing air conditioning
system.
WARNING: ONLY CERTIFIED AIR CONDITIONING TECHNICIANS SHOULD SERVICE THE AIR CONDITIONER.
The compressor within the RigMaster main unit pumps the refrigerant gas through the condenser
that dissipates the heat and changes the refrigerant from a gas to a liquid. The liquid refrigerant
passes through a filter (receiver/dryer), and then through the evaporator core located in the bunk
heater/air conditioner unit. The heater/air conditioner blower motor (fan) then activates and cool,
dry air is then forced into the bunk area.

RigMaster Power Principles of Operations- Generator
RMP14-6
120-VOLT GENERATOR
The 6kw heavy-duty generator is located at the rear of the RigMaster® Power APU and is belt
driven at 3600 RPM. The generator has two (2) factory supplied cords. One (1) block heater cord
(complete with a plug), allows the generator to be plugged into the vehicle's block heater. This
ensures that the vehicle's main engine will be warm when starting in cold weather. This provides a
load on the RigMaster engine that allows the APU to run more efficiently and prolong the
RigMaster's service life. The block heater connection uses one (1) – 20 AMP breaker. It is
recommended that the RigMaster remain plugged into the vehicle's block heater throughout
the winter months and unplugged for the spring and summer months. A second 20 AMP
supply of 120V power is supplied for the owner/operator convenience. A multiple outlet cord is
supplied and can be installed in the bunk area of the vehicle to provide power for 120V appliances.

RigMaster Power Principles of Operations – Fuel System
RMP14-6
FUEL SYSTEM
The RigMaster® Power APU incorporates a low/high pressure system. In order to prevent the
vehicle engine from drawing the fuel from the RigMaster’s fuel supply line, an in-line check valve is
mounted at the point of connection on the vehicle's suction fitting and the RigMaster.
The RigMaster fuel supply line is connected to the Perkins engine feed pump, which in turn
supplies fuel to the filter/sediment bowl assembly and then in turn to the injection pump.
NOTE: THIS TYPE OF FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT DE-AIRATE ITSELF.
All air must be bled from all of the hoses and components. There are air bleed screws located in
the fuel filter head assembly.
BLEEDING PROCEDURES
Low Pressure System
TOOLS NEEDED
Philips screwdriver #3
NOTE: THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MUST BE COMPLETELY FREE OF AIR BEFORE THE HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM CAN BE BLED PROPERLY.
a) Position a container or shop wiper under the fuel sediment bowl in order to contain any
spillage of fuel.
b) Using a Philips screwdriver, loosen the right hand bleed screw located in the fuel filter head
(Location B).
c) Prime the fuel system using the manual primer pump lever located on the fuel feed pump
(Location F).
d) Continue to pump until the sediment bowl is full and clear flow of fuel is present at the bleed
screw.
e) Tighten the bleed screw in the fuel filter head (Location B).
